Li Xiaoqi returned to the half-acre garden, bathed and washed, changed into homely clothes, stretched his arms comfortably, and lay back on the couch, Wisteria came over with a post and said with a smile: "Girl, just after the middle of the day today, a man named Yu Yuanshan came, handed over this protégé post, and said that he wanted to see the fifth master, I didn't know him, I didn't dare to say more, only said that the fifth master was not at home, he left this post, and said that he would come to see the fifth master another day." Li Xiaoqi frowned, took the post and tilted his head to look at it, handed the post to Wisteria and waved his hand: "Next time he comes, he also said that I went out." The geese haven't come back yet? ”

"Not yet, do you want someone to find it?"

"No, there are dogs and fifth brothers following, is Grandma Shen better today? Well, let's see where she goes. Li Xiaoqi sat up as she spoke, and Wisteria hurriedly stepped forward and replied while helping her with her hair: "It's better, the illness is like a thread, and Mama Shen is an elderly person, so the girl is relaxed." Li Xiaoqi was about to go out with his shoes on, when Hongju came in and reported: "Girl, Mingwan / Grandma is here." Li Xiaoqi raised her hand and patted her forehead, she almost forgot about it!

Li Xiaoqi sat back on the couch again, let Mingwan sit down, Hongju came up with tea, Li Xiaoqi looked at Mingwan, did not beat around the bush, and said straightforwardly: "Sister-in-law Wu's illness, as well as the things before and after you got married, Wisteria and Gouzi told me." Ming Wan hurriedly put down the cup and looked at Li Xiaoqi respectfully and expectantly, Li Xiaoqi looked at her and continued: "Sister-in-law Wu's disease can only be stabilized and dragged on, but it can't get rid of the roots, you have to think about it." Mingwan's eyes widened suddenly, full of horror and disbelief, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly comforted her: "Listen to me, although this disease can't be eradicated, as long as you take care of it in your daily life, don't let her be overjoyed and angry, and feel peaceful, there are many people who have this disease and live to seventy or eighty." Mingwan closed her eyes, stroked her chest with one hand, and subconsciously recited a sentence of Buddha, Li Xiaoqi breathed a sigh of relief and smiled: "Go back, you can build a Buddhist hall for Sister-in-law Wu, this Buddha cultivation is really good for her illness." ”

Mingwan looked at Li Xiaomi, wanted to laugh, but couldn't laugh, tears fell like beads, Li Xiaomiu hurriedly motioned to Wisteria to hand her a clean handkerchief, looked at her and stopped crying, and then continued in a gentle voice: "There is an old lady in the first Shui family, who has such a disease, and he left after eighty, Sister-in-law Wu's disease, you relax first, among the Qing guests of the Shui family, there is a person surnamed Qi, a good medical skill passed down from the family, and he is the best at treating this phlegm and palpitations. I have such a longevity, this Mr. Qi is still writing in the Shuijia Courtyard, I have already invited this Mr. Qi for you, and I will send someone to pick him up tomorrow to give Sister-in-law Wu a diagnosis, you can relax first. Mingwan's eyes flashed, she stood up all of a sudden, knelt on the ground and kowtowed her head repeatedly, Li Xiaoqi hurriedly motioned to Wisteria to help Mingwan up, looked at Wisteria and sat back on the chair with her, and said with a smile: "Gratitude is not on this, you listen to me first, Sister-in-law Wu's illness, peace of mind is the most important thing, but if she wants to be calm, you and Mingjing must be fine, but your life is too difficult now, ••••••." ”

Mingwan's eyes were red, she hung her head, and she was speechless for a while, Li Xiaoqi looked at her and sighed softly: "The matter of monthly money, forget it, relying on others is not a long way, and the little money in Huwei Camp can't support this family, the prince governs the army very strictly, and there will be no way to make a fortune in war, and you have to think about the livelihood of this family." Mingwan looked at Li Xiaoqi and whispered: "Say •••••• before leaving" Li Xiaoqi raised her hand to stop Mingwan's words and said: "Sister Zhang wants to open a dim sum shop, have you heard her say it?" ”

"Well, I've heard of it, I heard that she also raised a lot of silkworms in the Zhuangzi outside the city." Ming Wan hurriedly replied, Li Xiaoqi looked at her and smiled: "This is what she can do, when I was in Taiping Mansion in the past, I wanted to open a candied fruit shop, I see that there is really no decent candied fruit shop in Kaiping Mansion, otherwise, I will lend you some capital, you open a candied fruit shop, I have a lot of secret recipes for candied fruit here, there are many peaches, pears and apricots in Kaiping Mansion, as long as you do this candied fruit well, like Fengle Building, Changqing Building, these big wine shops, I can help you talk about it, let them try it from you, you see?" Mingwan's eyes flashed brightly, and she kept nodding: "The fifth master is really ••••••" Li Xiaoqi smiled and waved his hand: "I also see that your temperament is quite spicy, and people understand that they are willing to endure hardships, so I thought of such an idea, no thanks, you and Shuncai are having a good life, then it is better than anything, okay, you go back first, don't let your mother worry, this matter has to be discussed with her, if the discussion is proper, this shop, manpower or something, just hurry up, if there is anything, just look for the dog." Mingwan stood up, knelt down and kowtowed, stood up and almost bent her knees to the end, then retreated, withdrew from the main room and took two steps back, before turning around, putting her hands together on the tip of her nose, chanting a few words of Bodhisattva blessing, and then running back briskly.

Li Xiaoqi also breathed a sigh of relief, thought about it, called Begonia in, and told her to sort out some recipes for making candied fruit, and send them to Mingwan tomorrow. Li Xiaoqi and Shen Pozi talked for a while, and Mama Zhang carried the lantern and personally sent Li Xiaoqi back to the half-acre garden, Li Xiaoqi remembered to see Wei Shuisheng's martial arts, and while careful of the road under his feet, he discussed with Mama Zhang: "Mama, I invited the seventh lady of the Shui family and Shui Tongda/Grandma to cheer for the aquatic brother's martial arts. ”

"It's easy to set up a tent," Mama Zhang thought for a while and said: "It's the place to watch the shed, although our second master is going to play a martial arts field, but the place to watch the shed is to look at the doors of each family, and we are far away from the ••••••shed." Li Xiaoqi instantly understood what Mama Zhang meant, raised her eyebrows and laughed at herself: "I understand what Mama means, look at it, I still invite others, but I should let the Seventh Lady invite me!" Mama Zhang pursed her lips and smiled: "The girl is also going out, or ••••••."

"Or I have to borrow flowers to offer Buddha, the day after tomorrow I will ask the prince to borrow the shed, anyway, the Liang Wangfu is empty, but our shed still has to be built, and the beautiful one should be put away, and it should be for the aquatic brother." Li Xiaoqi took Mama Zhang's words and said with a smile, Mama Zhang hurriedly agreed, looking at Li Xiaomi's indifferent figure in the dark, her heart jumped a few times, and countless thoughts were pumped out.

Li Xiaoqi returned to the half-acre garden and drank the red date soup, Luo Yan carried her skirt, rushed in excitedly, and was in a hurry to report and the tea in the hands of the red orange for a moment, unable to resist the thirst, first took a sip of tea and drank it, and then reported with a smile on his face: "Fifth master, Uncle Zhang is really rare, this mansion and agent in Kaiping Mansion, he is so familiar with it•••••• alas, I really don't know what to say!" On this day, we have seen all the big mansions with more than five entrances to be sold in Mankaiping Mansion! There are three places that I like, and I will tell the girl in detail, which one will be good for the girl••••••"

"Alright, no need to elaborate! Since this business is handed over to you, you have to decide on this idea, and besides, I don't understand this. Li Xiaoqi raised his hand to stop Luo Yan and smiled, Luo Yan muttered with a disappointed face: "The fifth master will really spoil the fun!" Don't even let people say it! Li Xiaoqi picked up the cup and sipped the tea and said with a smile: "You will talk more in the future, Fifth Brother Zhao followed Uncle Sun to open a wine shop in Taiping Mansion, maybe you can understand some of the particularities of this hook bar business, you can discuss with them." ”

"These three places are what the three of us like together!" Luo Yan is still interested: "Forget it, the fifth master doesn't care, tomorrow morning, I and the two masters will take a closer look at these three places a few more times, if you are optimistic, then it will be settled?" ”

"Well, of course it has to be settled." Li Xiaoqi smiled: "Have you eaten dinner?" ”

"Yo! The fifth master didn't say it, I didn't think it was too much, this said, alas, the fifth master, you rest, I have to hurry up to find the begonia to beg for food, I'm hungry! Luo Yan rubbed his stomach with his hand, and even bent his knees with a smile and withdrew.

Under the bright candlelight, Mr. Lin and Zhijing were listening intently to the report of a spy dressed as a peddler: "•••••• that girl looked straight at the house for a day, and only looked at the big mansion that went up five times, and she just entered the Li house in Willow Hutong half an hour ago. ”

"Well, you're doing well, go down and rest." Mr. Lin waved his hand away from the spy, turned his head to look at Zhijing, and said with a hint of disdain: "It's also a bastard, and you have to be raised as a house!" ”

"He hasn't married a concubine yet, so naturally it's not good to carry the concubine into the mansion first, so he has to keep it outside first." Zhijing's tone was much more indifferent, and Mr. Lin said with disdain: "Wild land! Savage people! Zhijing laughed at what Mr. Lin said, laughed for a moment, looked at Mr. Lin and solemnly warned: "Don't underestimate this pair of brothers, this little thing, the flaws are not hidden, he is a high-powered prince, and he will be a high-powered prince in the future, pampering a few women, a very small matter." ”

"Alas!" Mr. Lin let out a long sigh, stood up and turned around a few times with his hands behind his back, stopped at the window, looked at the dark night outside, and sighed again, Zhijing stood up, patted the pu fan and stood behind him, and persuaded in a low voice: "Don't worry too much, life depends on fate, the country also has its own national fortune, you and I, and do your best to obey the destiny of heaven." ”

"But! Wu Di is fighting! It's time to fight! Brothers cannibalism! Woe to the wall! Cranes and mussels compete, fishermen profit! This fisherman is right in front of him, eyeing the tiger! Those bastards, their eyes are only on that dragon chair! What a bastard! Bastard! Aren't they afraid? How dare they?! Mr. Lin suddenly slammed the window lattice, angry, Zhijing sighed long, and sadly patted Mr. Lin's shoulder with a fan and persuaded: "Do your best to obey the destiny of heaven, as a minister, but ask for a clear conscience." Mr. Lin closed his eyes slightly, and sighed with infinite sadness.
